How to Migrate from PostgreSQL to Amazon Redshift

Skippr is the easiest way to migrate from PostgreSQL to Redshift and get fully cleansed and modeled data in one run command.

Source: PostgreSQL. Destination: Redshift.

Sample config

yaml
skippr:
  workspace: postgres_to_redshift
pipelines:
  postgres_to_redshift:
    data_source: data_sources.source
    data_sink: data_sinks.warehouse
data_sources:
  source:
    Postgres:
      host: localhost
      port: 5432
      user: myuser
      password: mypass
      database: mydb
data_sinks:
  warehouse:
    Redshift:
      database: analytics
      cluster_identifier: my-cluster
      db_user: admin
      schema: public
      region: us-east-1

Environment

bash
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your-key"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your-secret"
export REDSHIFT_CLUSTER_IDENTIFIER="my-cluster"
export REDSHIFT_DB_USER="admin"
export REDSHIFT_DATABASE="analytics"

Source connector: postgres. Destination connector: redshift-warehouse.
